Riot - Dead Kennedys

Riotingthe unbeatable high

Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky

Everyone knows this town is gonna blow

And its all gonna blow right now.

Now you can smash all the windows that you want

All you really need are some friends and a rock

Throwing a brick never felt so damn good

Smash more glass

Scream with a laugh

And wallow with the crowds

Watch them kicking peoples ass

But you get to the place

Where the real slavedrivers live

Its walled off by the riot squad

Aiming guns right at your head

So you turn right around

And play right into their hands

And set your own neighbourhood

Burning to the ground instead

Riotthe unbeatable high

Riotshoots your nerves to the sky

Riotplaying into their hands

Tomorrow youre homeless

Tonight its a blast

Get your kicks in quick

Theyre callin the national guard

Now could be your only chance

To torch a police car

Climb the roof, kick the siren in And jump and yelp for joy

Quicklydive back in the crowd

Slip away, now dont get caught

Lets loot the spiffy hi-fi store

Grab as much as you can hold

Pray your full arms dont fall off

Here comes the owner with a gun

The barricades spring up from nowhere

Cops in helmets line the lines

Shotguns prod into your bellies

The trigger fingers want an excuse

Now

The raging mob has lost its nerve

Theres more of us but who goes first

No one dares to cross the line

The cops know that theyve won

Its all over but not quite

The pigs have just begun to fight

They club your heads, kick your teeth

Police can riot all that they please

Tomorrow youre homeless

Tonight its a blast
